Maybe a silly question - but how do transfer fees get translated into the club accounts, e.g. in terms of FFP and profit/loss? If we paid (say) £2.5m for Ulloa, on a 4.5 year contract does he now count as an 'asset' on the books? And if so, valued at what? And when he scores 30+ goals in the coming year and still has 3.5 years on his contract - and we are getting , and rejecting, offers of £8million...did we just make a nice big profit (in FFP terms)? Interesting business this football.

held at cost

not fair value

Exciting.

For what it's worth, I am going for FearHill Fun Dake. Dake as in cake. The H of Hill is pronounced as if you were clearing your throat ready to gob at someone. At least that is what it would be in Afrikaans, which is not Dutch. Hope that helps.

It's spread over the period of their contract, if Ulloa cost 2m and signed for 4 years we'd take 500k off the account per year.

Interesting question - i did my dissertation at University on the subject over 10 years. Things are a bit vague now but i remember discussing intangible assets and brands etc

Palarse would have one of the biggest asset values seeing as zaha is worth about 93 million

So if they 'value' him at £20m, and they sell him for half that. What happens to that £10m difference on their balance sheets? POOF! Gone?

No need for name calling.

The question is will we return with a second bid for this player?

That is the question.

But if the asking price of £5M is to be believed then I think we are out of luck on this one.
